Inheritance: You are standing in line next to an idiot. A man comes up to
you and gives you a bird, you give it webed feet and call it a
penguin. The idiot pickes up a parrot rips off its wings
and gives it scuba gear.
polymorphism: A man gives you a bag with the word "CANINE" written on it.
You tell the bag to go hunt some deer, and the poodle
shits itself and runs up a tree.
